"I will hold down C so the 1st, 2nd and 3rd'll make him fret loads." Bar of the battle for me + zero reaction from crowd = not a single guitar player in the place lol
Cee's Bars that were slept on.... Mitchell and Ness. Stone Island clothing. Comic line. Death Sentence / Speak with my hands. Sonned Rappers scheme. Poster Boy line. Depressive Scheme in the 3rd round. Fully slept on.
@@LoveJaeger Referencing the Charlie Hebdo shooting which was a terrorist attack in France in which journalists were killed among others for their satirising of Islam. Specifically the Prophet Muhammad. Incredible bar.
Soul has a top five pen game in any league. Every time I watch his battles, I end up making a " I just shat myself" face and shake my head. His bars are seriously incredible. Really wish he could've faced Tony D for the title.
C should have battled since his clash with Soul. He had been improving dramatically with each battle! There was even a sharp improving from his battle with Chilla to that with Soul! I miss C-Major!
Here is how i would judge it: First round - Cee Major, but very close call, mostly i am giving this round to Cee cuz Soul got stuttered in his first round for like a minute. Second Round - Soul, again very close call, both MC were spitting punch after punch like crazy, I give this round to Soul for interesting flow switches Third Round - Cee Major, that wasn't even close, Cee just destroyed completely him, he actually went for his soul and took it out of his body! 2-1 Cee Major - Win But what a legendary epic fight, i wish i was there live when it all happened. Both MC are on the top level
This battle won't get as many views as it deserves. Which is a shame because it's the best UK battle ever. You've got people like Conceited and Hitman consistently hitting 1m views who don't have half of the talent, bars and content as these two guys.
Samuel Martin Conceited and SONS laid down the initial foundations for all these battle rappers scheming nowadays, get a grip. And Hitman is 10x more entertaining than these two combined...neither of these two know how to grip a crowd and fill a room with energy. They can't do what Hitman did vs JJDD in rd 1 for instance.
Personally have Soul 2-1. Round 1 - Cee Round 2 - Soul but Cee was slept on Round 3 - Soul but Debatable Cee had bars but i still think Soul out barred him personally. One of the best Dont Flop battles of all time will definitely go down in History of the league
honestly this is the best battle ive seen in like 2 years. no shit. I'm from the U.S. and it really opened my eyes... these dudes are nasty. I can't even pick a winner. Both were sick
Soul's had mad bars from day one, he only had to work his performance/delivery. If you watch all his battles from day dot, you'll see the progression, man's on a tier that nobody can reach now. Tony will always be the champ but he realised that the next man would be Soul, so he boy'd up Unan and retired. Tone the man but Soul would kill him.
"Rappers I've sonned, sonned rappers that've sonned rappers. My shit pops on a grand scale, accept that I'm great." Sonned, sonned, sonned; Great-grand-pops. If anyone was wondering what the "bar of the event" was.
Broo I keep coming back to this one.. Idc cee's first round best I've ever seen imo, down to performance and bars and jokes, it was flawless... Every punch connected.. He won this battle clearly, ppl jus say soul because its a bandwagon to hop on, cee major won this battle for sure real ones know.
I've seen this battle 4-5 times now. Gets better every time. A battle fitting for a title. But also a battle that someone has to (unfortunately) lose. I agree with the final decision. Soul's pen is genuinely one of the best in battle rap - period - not just U.K. battle rap. Big ups both cats! 👊 Big ups Don't Flop! 👊
Learning to actually rap and flow is the greatest thing Soul could've done, lol. He came a long way, from just being a good writer, to having a complete style. Cee might've won if he had showed progress in a different area, but it kinda was more of the same, except for some better-than-usual lines.
classic battle. imho cee edged all three rounds with rock solid consistency and swag throughout. props to soul for his (self-acknowledged) atypical style (except for his third, which was non-stop 'lyrical miracle' multies), his aggy opener and even better second round. unfortunately for him, cee remained un-phased by the 'sole' 'you don't deserve this' theme and audaciously convinced me that soul was actually the one that didn't deserve it with a surprising level of cleverness, including his 'no pause' rebuttal. don't forget, soul rhymed 'islam' with 'islam'. nonetheless this battle displays both of these cats at their best. i understand that it could have gone either way but the ultimate 4-1 result paints the wrong picture. guess that's why losing a close one is sometimes worse than a slaughtering, in any sport.
Best battle I have seen in a long long time! I would have to give to Cee 2-1. I'm a massive fan of both. It's good to see such a high level and two battlers really hungry.
Cee Major is sick, I'd give it to him... Great battle, this is what it's about. Bar after bar, after some mortal combat super combo bar shit... Truly sick, great battlers. Great battlers to represent the league, the brand and all that shit. Respect.
Yeah stuff debating who won and let the two rappers let them worry about it. This is a win fir us all, Dont Flop wins, UK battle scene wins, who cares. For me by far best UK battle I have seen, both are next level writers, personally enjoy Cee more but soul is just crazy aswell. Just enjoy the quality if both MCs guys!
OH-MY-GOD - This is brilliant! *Spoiler Alert* Personally I think Cee edged this, though it could have gone either way and Soul as Champion is good for the league. Huge respect to both these, scintillating stuff.
DF was so peak in the time between Tony vs Shotty and this battle, and it's been enough time to know that no other UK league can hope to replicate it. Legendary era. I miss everything about this time except Bagnall making himself the center of attention.
I may be an American but Dont Flop is the best battle league out there i dont really fuck with any other leagues honestly. and i like how the people runnin the thing are some pretty good people. been a fan almost 7 years now
Too sick. Both really stepped up for this with top notch bars and delivery. Souls bars a bit harder, but Cee's wordplay was amazing. He said it: "You lot are sleeping". Agree with edging it to soul, but I think watching it back more over time Cee's bars will stand out more. Bagnall's screwface game was strong in this one.
Sickest battle iv'e ever seen.. And iv'e watched every one released for the last 3 years. Souls reached a new level, not even on personal basis but in the history of battle rap
Don't Flop this is how you get worldwide respect I'm from Cali and this is what you need to demand from your battlers fucking bars not all this joke bullshit. This is what you need. Respect
Cee Major boyed him. Seriously, I thought Soul would take this easily but Cee Major came fully prepared, consistent and performed on point. Cee Major no doubt.
Draikofi Although many people praise Soul for his penmanship and bars I think Cee Major proved he can come heavy with the pen too. The deciding factor for me was really delivery. Cee Major's delivery is monotonous and one dimensional so the bars don't hit as hard. I tend to doze off on some of his stuff for that reason. Soul on the other hand has three dimensions to him. The raunchy Soul, the softly joking Soul and lastly medium level soul which is usually fast. That is what makes Soul's bars hit harder and ultimately a better performer.
It still amazes me that people think C won. don't get me wrong the dude is awesome and he was amazing in this battle but he has one flow but has amazing bars and great writing. But it's much more than that.what's Soul does is beyond that. His writing, vocal projection, bars, multis, performance, crowd control, aggression, the way he can go up and down with his flow to hit Peaks and grab your interest is far more intricate than What C does, plain and simple. Its not always about bars
Gregory Rodriguez very on point, CEE is dope but I think 'RANDOM' said it best on 'RYDs WATCH' he just doesn't know what sounds cool, that's just bottom line with his style, he says dope shit but lacks conviction! SOUL is the rightful owner of the title, no matter what half the comments say🤔 IF CEE GOT A ROUND IT WAS THE SECOND WITH THE BATMAN SCHEME AMONGST OTHER STUFF, SOULS SEX REBUTTAL FELL HELLA HARD...
Went to see this live- I had Cee winning 2-0 after two rounds, but Soul smashed that third so hard on every angle I ended up giving it to him... Respect to both of them though, hardest battle I've ever seen!
Both of them came with extremely similar multi-heavy, angle-focused rounds. Soul mentions Cee being a 4 bar rapper, but Cee is not that at all. This is a top 20 battle for me, for sure.
This was and still is to date the best don't flop title match .. shox vs soul is a close 2nd but i think both shox and soul each had a slightly weaker round in their battle .. this is 3 rounds of pure fire from both equally as hungry men and this came down to exactly that.. hunger.. cee major tried to swag through the battle, soul had almost 10 years of mad travelling and hard grinding behind him and wasn't going to let this opportunity slide.. great battle from both guys! 🔥🔥🔥 cee should come back and put more into battling he can write and perform on the top stages
This battle was so good! Looking over it again I don't thin Cee should of lost this. A rate soul highly but first two went to Cee for me... stumble in the first is a big no-no in a title match
Battle was a lot closer than made out, I like both them, Cee too monotone for me, ends up like white noise, Soul still edged it with pronunciation IMO that’s how close I see it now (Still)
Soul......oh my God....those multis on the 3rd round....shit,and what about the 2 round...classic.Cee Major with any other rapper that would wonned that battle.One of the best Ever...Real shit
That was the best don't flop battle in history. Neither battler pulled any gimmicks or went into it thinking they are rap god's. This battle was nothing like shotty vs Tony and was so much more enjoyable. So rare to get so hyped off both battlers. So rare for a rapper (soul) to be on such a consistent quality streak. Couldn't have gone better, Cee major has nothing to be ashamed of, showed pure battle talent on top of actually making music. Soul did everything he can do whilst maintain relevant and creative angles. Perfect title match, i really hope british battling continues moving in this direction.
I've watched this battle like 4 times in the last month. And I've decided that Cee Major got ROBBED. I love Soul, he's one of the greatest writers in the world when it comes to battle rap. But all of Cee Major's big swings got nothing from the crowd. It's a shame. I don't think Cee Major took the title shot, but he got no way near the praise he deserved for this performance.
I keep coming back to this. It's between this and Tony/Unan for the best title match. Actually, this one probably wins because both battlers brought bars.
Soul is a fucking beast. I don't see anyone taking the title off of him except from a seasoned Gemini, maybe. That being said I thought Cee took this. He's the only battler at the moment in Britain that could out bar Soul but unfortunately he was slept on heavily. Still, what a classic battle.
I think Soul is probably the best writer in the world right now. Obviously the next test for him would be match where performance and stage presence came into play, I.e Shotty, Pat Stay, Rone.
This was a formality, a forgone conclusion. Of course Soul is DF's poster boy and that's why he got the decision. Judging is corrupt/biased at any level of any sport, even battle rap. People saying how Cee hasn't won a battle in ages went against him, then why the fuck give him a shot? I love watching both these guys battle and I'm Scottish to boot. But choking in your first at a title match should go against you for that round, regardless of how you claw the round back. And it took Soul a while to come back from that, it wasn't some minor slip up. On the day, you should bring your A game. I've seen clashes where dudes lose the whole battle for less than this. No way was this a 4-1. All those judges, Dash, Tony D, Villun...all in Eurgh's pocket......and fuckin' Agent, what the fuck does that scrub know? Couldn't rap his way out of a wet paper bag. If you are going to be biased, at least make it look convincing. Fuck sake.
Agreed i feel Soul is usually better but over hyped in this one, aside from the choke he has alot of filler and also forces his delivery, personally i had cee major 3-0 or i guess 2-1 could be argued but his material was better than souls in my view.
Jmaccxx It was a foregone conclusion because Soul has been running through battlers from here to the States for the past two or three years. Not because of some bullshit conspiracy you've invented.
LSFTD While I can't substantiate any of it of course, it's purely conjecture on my part. Although I would dare say I'm not alone in my thinking as a lot of opinions are that Cee was robbed. While I'm not saying that exactly. I happen to think it was closer than most battles tend to be. But the judging did nothing to reflect this. But I wasn't being contentious about Agent, oh no!
my 6th time watching this battle in two days, its fucking insane, i reckon cee was slept on a few times tbh but soul's pengame is just fucking madness... i dont see anyone in the uk beating soul, not even lunar, shotty, dialect or tony, the way he out smarts guys is fucking incredible, what a beast.. this battle deserves 100000000000 views imo.
what a battle man, ive watched this 3 times already, first watch i had soul 2-1, second watch i started to understand why people were saying cee won, third watch i gotta give it soul man crazy content, best writer in battle rap right now
I would love to see Charron vs Soul, Ogmios (I'd love to hear what he could bring to a title match) vs Soul, or Rone vs Soul. I know in terms of holding a title, Eurgh might not want to see Charron or Rone win it (though I know Soul is Scottish but he still reps the league). Even if Soul battled either of them on KOTD it would be dope. Charron and Soul would be a really interesting match-up.
The system has failed the youth miserably and, thats all I have to say about Cee Major. Soul fucking destroyed it. He's beyond these wannabes. Soul is top 3 in battle rap to me. Soul Hollow & Bigg K.
"I will hold down C so the 1st, 2nd and 3rd'll make him fret loads."
Bar of the battle for me + zero reaction from crowd = not a single guitar player in the place lol
8 years later and this battle is still INSANE.
One of the Top 3 battles across all leagues still
This still bangs, wish this shit was still this hype
Cee's Bars that were slept on....
Mitchell and Ness.
Stone Island clothing.
Comic line.
Death Sentence / Speak with my hands.
Sonned Rappers scheme.
Poster Boy line.
Depressive Scheme in the 3rd round. Fully slept on.
nah wack shit
I struggle to understand him with his fake black accent and lisp
Mitchell and ness and stony clothing bars were sick.
'it's lonely at the top. I look around and there ain't a soul in sight' 🔥 🔥 🔥 👏 👏 👏
That charlie hebdo bar got slept on. 22:59
"Yes we the realness , nah je suis (i am) the realness , see how calling me out ends up bad for you comics"
Please explain for me kind gentleman.
@@LoveJaeger Referencing the Charlie Hebdo shooting which was a terrorist attack in France in which journalists were killed among others for their satirising of Islam. Specifically the Prophet Muhammad. Incredible bar.
Soul has a top five pen game in any league.
Every time I watch his battles, I end up making a " I just shat myself" face and shake my head. His bars are seriously incredible.
Really wish he could've faced Tony D for the title.
Still think the olde English battle is his best work
Chris Burton LSFTD his 3rd against olde English is one of the best rounds ive ever seen
COUSIN hercules BULLSHIT soul pen is not top 5 in any league - his pen game is not special - soul sucks to be ohnest
ramirez rico you don't know what you're talking about...
ramirez rico you don't know anything about rap
C should have battled since his clash with Soul. He had been improving dramatically with each battle! There was even a sharp improving from his battle with Chilla to that with Soul! I miss C-Major!
Here is how i would judge it:
First round - Cee Major, but very close call, mostly i am giving this round to Cee cuz Soul got stuttered in his first round for like a minute.

Third Round - Cee Major, that wasn't even close, Cee just destroyed completely him, he actually went for his soul and took it out of his body!
2-1 Cee Major - Win
But what a legendary epic fight, i wish i was there live when it all happened. Both MC are on the top level

Bang bang bang, shit like that
Reee reeee Reee reload with tha bullet that came out him.
Samuel Martin Conceited and SONS laid down the initial foundations for all these battle rappers scheming nowadays, get a grip. And Hitman is 10x more entertaining than these two combined...neither of these two know how to grip a crowd and fill a room with energy. They can't do what Hitman did vs JJDD in rd 1 for instance.
GrandaddyCrunk Neither know how to grip a crowd? Was you watching a different battle? Couldn't take my eyes or ears off them for a second!
Personally have Soul 2-1.
Round 1 - Cee
Round 2 - Soul but Cee was slept on
Round 3 - Soul but Debatable
Cee had bars but i still think Soul out barred him personally. One of the best Dont Flop battles of all time will definitely go down in History of the league
honestly this is the best battle ive seen in like 2 years. no shit. I'm from the U.S. and it really opened my eyes... these dudes are nasty. I can't even pick a winner. Both were sick
Go watch soul vs raptor if you liked this one
Soul was insane in that battle. Top tier of top tier.
raptor only had one angle in that battle , soul destroyed him with technical style
second that! salute from the Bay Area.
Soul's had mad bars from day one, he only had to work his performance/delivery.
If you watch all his battles from day dot, you'll see the progression, man's on a tier that nobody can reach now.
Tony will always be the champ but he realised that the next man would be Soul, so he boy'd up Unan and retired.
Tone the man but Soul would kill him.
That was a Heavyweight bar for bar battle Soul killed it but Cee Major had some slept on bars that I thought were fire
"Rappers I've sonned, sonned rappers that've sonned rappers.
My shit pops on a grand scale, accept that I'm great."
Sonned, sonned, sonned; Great-grand-pops.
If anyone was wondering what the "bar of the event" was.
Fire !
No-Limitation 3 generations of sons - oldest is a great-granddad or grand "pops".
No-Limitation Son, son, son, great, grand, pop. Great granddads have three generations of sons init
ixICocoIxi it's not the bar of the event because cee said it was
David James That's why it's in quotation marks you fucking pleb.
Best battle in Don't Flop history!
Let's not be hastey
J Ogun trust me I'm not being hasty. bar for bar this is the best/my favorite battle ever on DF.
I agree
Clearly you have never watched Bowski vs Bloodstro, that's pure fire I swear
Jack Conway nah any bleek battle is the best
i'll pen circles around cee, cos he copy writing
bar of the year
Never
Daniel Fenn-Tye Loool I didn't even get that after watching this battle 10+x... Then again, Soul battles tend to do that regardless..
Daniel Fenn-Tye stop watching battle rap.... hitman holla said a very similar bar to this before. this bar is very average.
"I will hold down C, so the first second and third I'll make him fret those." Meansnothing if you don't play guitar but... Fuck!
pierrederesistance and third I'm making fret/threat notes
no you Was right
Broo I keep coming back to this one.. Idc cee's first round best I've ever seen imo, down to performance and bars and jokes, it was flawless... Every punch connected.. He won this battle clearly, ppl jus say soul because its a bandwagon to hop on, cee major won this battle for sure real ones know.
Cee's "Je suis Charlie" bar went over so many heads. 23:01
some of Cee's bars were slept on hugely, but i'd still say Soul took it. The best title match so far?
just thought id watch this again. i forgot how awesome this battle is. one of the greatest df battles of all time. wish major battled more
I've seen this battle 4-5 times now. Gets better every time. A battle fitting for a title. But also a battle that someone has to (unfortunately) lose. I agree with the final decision. Soul's pen is genuinely one of the best in battle rap - period - not just U.K. battle rap. Big ups both cats! 👊 Big ups Don't Flop! 👊
Soul is NICE man, sheesh.
He even got cameraman spazzing with them bars lol
No battler in the UK has a better pen game than either of these two!
Nah soul is defo 1 of 3 top tier with his pen game it's pure magic.
Ridiculous how little views this has got, yet Shotty v Arsonal has 12m. Some of the bars here are incredible.
Cee Major 2-1 for me, Soul with the 2nd. but it's tough cos this really is one of the best uk battles bar for bar
only 150k views? Terrible man. This is my 4th or 5th watch of this battle.
Soul definitely has the most complex punchlines out there without being nonsensical. Well deserved the title
You're all in for a treat. THEY BOTH KILLED THIS!
"I will End C Era (sierra) blood, I'm in (blood diamod) a league of my own" GET EM JED
I watch this at least once every other month and both just hit 🔥
Learning to actually rap and flow is the greatest thing Soul could've done, lol.
He came a long way, from just being a good writer, to having a complete style.
Cee might've won if he had showed progress in a different area, but it kinda was more of the same, except for some better-than-usual lines.
Haru X yeah he sucked like 2-3 years ago... Now he's top 3, illipsis reminds me of a young SOUL. Dudes got WILD FIRE but his deliveries CRINGEY AF. .
classic battle. imho cee edged all three rounds with rock solid consistency and swag throughout. props to soul for his (self-acknowledged) atypical style (except for his third, which was non-stop 'lyrical miracle' multies), his aggy opener and even better second round. unfortunately for him, cee remained un-phased by the 'sole' 'you don't deserve this' theme and audaciously convinced me that soul was actually the one that didn't deserve it with a surprising level of cleverness, including his 'no pause' rebuttal. don't forget, soul rhymed 'islam' with 'islam'. nonetheless this battle displays both of these cats at their best. i understand that it could have gone either way but the ultimate 4-1 result paints the wrong picture. guess that's why losing a close one is sometimes worse than a slaughtering, in any sport.
Watched this multiple times now & still think Cee Major should've got the W.
Best battle I have seen in a long long time! I would have to give to Cee 2-1. I'm a massive fan of both. It's good to see such a high level and two battlers really hungry.
Cee Major is sick, I'd give it to him... Great battle, this is what it's about. Bar after bar, after some mortal combat super combo bar shit... Truly sick, great battlers. Great battlers to represent the league, the brand and all that shit. Respect.

TheSaurusWins Who'd you have winning?
Yeah who'd you think one each round bro? Always good to hear your opinion.
TheSaurusWins Yeah, that's gotta be the best title match OAT?
Yeah stuff debating who won and let the two rappers let them worry about it. This is a win fir us all, Dont Flop wins, UK battle scene wins, who cares. For me by far best UK battle I have seen, both are next level writers, personally enjoy Cee more but soul is just crazy aswell. Just enjoy the quality if both MCs guys!
OH-MY-GOD - This is brilliant!
*Spoiler Alert* Personally I think Cee edged this, though it could have gone either way and Soul as Champion is good for the league. Huge respect to both these, scintillating stuff.
DF was so peak in the time between Tony vs Shotty and this battle, and it's been enough time to know that no other UK league can hope to replicate it. Legendary era. I miss everything about this time except Bagnall making himself the center of attention.
Cee is dope, and not only did Soul win this but deserved it. Guy is a savage..best DF battle ever. Shotty is the only logical contender at this point.
Ogmios. Arguably beat Real Deal and has beaten a lot of good battlers. Also has the kind of pen game to challenge Soul.
Dave LaHoya i'd love to see soul vs rone
IgboAndSons they both on fire atm
Joddy p like kotd is a canadian battle league and they had several US champs, the saurus, dizaster
Dave LaHoya Ever? Tony D could body Soul and give Dialect a shot. Shotty should easily kill Soul but he cant rep the league no more
So many great bars from both sides. One of the greatest Don't Flop Battles easily .
What a treat! I think Cee took the 2nd and 3rd so I gave it to him 2-1, but close regardless.
Could go either way though - classic.
"New highs by dragging on an old spliff" CMajor and Soul ran a masterclass- two battlers the uk can be proud of
This battle was pure fire..
Both rappers went in
Too close to call for me, could say either of them won it tbh
Favourite non-parody battle I've ever seen. Thought Soul won but I'd be alreet with either taking it.
1 - Soul
2 - Soul
3 - Cee Major
2-1
This battle is still fucking lit 🔥 love the respect they shown to each other
I may be an American but Dont Flop is the best battle league out there i dont really fuck with any other leagues honestly. and i like how the people runnin the thing are some pretty good people. been a fan almost 7 years now
Don't flop has changed a lot since 8 years ago, I think it's not as good and entertaining as it was back then.
2-1 Cee Major
The best battle in don't flop!!
Bar after bar. Well done boys
Love soul but cee took this easily! So many good bars that got slept on
Too sick. Both really stepped up for this with top notch bars and delivery. Souls bars a bit harder, but Cee's wordplay was amazing. He said it: "You lot are sleeping".
Agree with edging it to soul, but I think watching it back more over time Cee's bars will stand out more. Bagnall's screwface game was strong in this one.
Saying "Bar of the event" immediately after your own stretched out, vague scheme should result in an instant loss and expulsion from the league
PAINx BRINGER by those rules Cortez would face corporal punishment every event 😂
that bar was terrible too xD
sonned sonned sonned, great grand, we got it soul xD
ψrατh
Cee's the one that said "bar of the event" lol
I still don’t get what he meant
Cee Major always gets slept on. He won that for me, 1st & 3rd round
I had cee major taking all three rounds honestly perhaps Soul had the third round but no where near Cee majors level
***** watch it more than once, soul got it 3-0, edged first took 2 and 3 easier than first
Salvus Mineralwasser agreed..that was an obvious 3-0 for soul. Stumble included.
The streak Soul's on right now is fucking serious.
Sickest battle iv'e ever seen.. And iv'e watched every one released for the last 3 years. Souls reached a new level, not even on personal basis but in the history of battle rap
Don't Flop this is how you get worldwide respect I'm from Cali and this is what you need to demand from your battlers fucking bars not all this joke bullshit. This is what you need. Respect
some cuties here man..especially the girl in pink behind Soul. Good battle, Cee is pretty tight I already know Soul is
Nearly two years on and still the best UK vs UK battle on df youtube
Six years later still the best
That 3rd Round bodied 100 rappers not just 1. Hense why soul is the best battler in the league. He is fucking easily one of the greatest ever.
Cee Major boyed him. Seriously, I thought Soul would take this easily but Cee Major came fully prepared, consistent and performed on point. Cee Major no doubt.
Draikofi Although many people praise Soul for his penmanship and bars I think Cee Major proved he can come heavy with the pen too. The deciding factor for me was really delivery. Cee Major's delivery is monotonous and one dimensional so the bars don't hit as hard. I tend to doze off on some of his stuff for that reason. Soul on the other hand has three dimensions to him. The raunchy Soul, the softly joking Soul and lastly medium level soul which is usually fast. That is what makes Soul's bars hit harder and ultimately a better performer.
Best I've seen from cee, but still gave it too soul.
1st soul, 2nd soul, 3rd cee, was never going to be a body bag.
Soul is the only one that could have taken the title from Tony D
It should of been them 2 last title match instead of unandizaynomous
Toxicpot76 That took me a second. but it made me chuckle.
MrHeavySilence5 nah Tony would merk him
Lol oath stephean. I can't stand him because he's just totally bit his style to the point of even saying yeah when he's pumped hahaha.
MrHeavySilence5 raptor beat tony ? And got robbed and in my opinion shox won against tony 2-1 ! Tony been dead the past year shox is number 1
Tony d's breakdown was spot on imho. Too close to call. Respect to everyone invovled.
Back here again in 2021.
This is the best soul iv ever seen. Absolutely crazy!
What bout vs illmac on premier battles ?
It still amazes me that people think C won. don't get me wrong the dude is awesome and he was amazing in this battle but he has one flow but has amazing bars and great writing. But it's much more than that.what's Soul does is beyond that. His writing, vocal projection, bars, multis, performance, crowd control, aggression, the way he can go up and down with his flow to hit Peaks and grab your interest is far more intricate than What C does, plain and simple. Its not always about bars
Gregory Rodriguez very on point, CEE is dope but I think 'RANDOM' said it best on 'RYDs WATCH' he just doesn't know what sounds cool, that's just bottom line with his style, he says dope shit but lacks conviction! SOUL is the rightful owner of the title, no matter what half the comments say🤔 IF CEE GOT A ROUND IT WAS THE SECOND WITH THE BATMAN SCHEME AMONGST OTHER STUFF, SOULS SEX REBUTTAL FELL HELLA HARD...
Nicky Robinson yes exactly.
Went to see this live- I had Cee winning 2-0 after two rounds, but Soul smashed that third so hard on every angle I ended up giving it to him... Respect to both of them though, hardest battle I've ever seen!
I seriously get chills everytime I hear that ISIS line from Soul. And I've seen this battle at least 50 times. lol
This is hands down the best df battle in years, and most likely going to be battle of the year. Insane.
Both of them came with extremely similar multi-heavy, angle-focused rounds. Soul mentions Cee being a 4 bar rapper, but Cee is not that at all. This is a top 20 battle for me, for sure.
Rd 1: Cee (easy)Rd 2: Cee (edged)Rd 3: Soul (went in and cee underperformed)Winner: Cee 2-1
This was and still is to date the best don't flop title match .. shox vs soul is a close 2nd but i think both shox and soul each had a slightly weaker round in their battle .. this is 3 rounds of pure fire from both equally as hungry men and this came down to exactly that.. hunger.. cee major tried to swag through the battle, soul had almost 10 years of mad travelling and hard grinding behind him and wasn't going to let this opportunity slide.. great battle from both guys! 🔥🔥🔥 cee should come back and put more into battling he can write and perform on the top stages
Fuckin BARS! Soul is my fav Dont Flop battler and im so happy that he won it! Well deserved. PLEASE next title match make it Soul vs Dialect.
This battle was so good! Looking over it again I don't thin Cee should of lost this.
A rate soul highly but first two went to Cee for me... stumble in the first is a big no-no in a title match
Battle was a lot closer than made out, I like both them, Cee too monotone for me, ends up like white noise, Soul still edged it with pronunciation IMO that’s how close I see it now (Still)
Bar for bar one of the best D.F battles to date. Soul V Olde English another banger!
Amazing battle , soul deserve it!
Soul......oh my God....those multis on the 3rd round....shit,and what about the 2 round...classic.Cee Major with any other rapper that would wonned that battle.One of the best Ever...Real shit
That was the best don't flop battle in history. Neither battler pulled any gimmicks or went into it thinking they are rap god's. This battle was nothing like shotty vs Tony and was so much more enjoyable. So rare to get so hyped off both battlers. So rare for a rapper (soul) to be on such a consistent quality streak. Couldn't have gone better, Cee major has nothing to be ashamed of, showed pure battle talent on top of actually making music. Soul did everything he can do whilst maintain relevant and creative angles. Perfect title match, i really hope british battling continues moving in this direction.
I actually think that this and Tony v. Shotty are the two best battles in DF, tied as I can't pick a favorite. A close 3rd being Tony v. Oshea.
Narrator: it did not.
So much better than Soul vs Raptor, the should have made Raptor face C major before getting a title shout i don't think he would have made it...
I've watched this battle like 4 times in the last month. And I've decided that Cee Major got ROBBED. I love Soul, he's one of the greatest writers in the world when it comes to battle rap. But all of Cee Major's big swings got nothing from the crowd. It's a shame. I don't think Cee Major took the title shot, but he got no way near the praise he deserved for this performance.
Cee's bars are just landing for some of the crowd
I keep coming back to this. It's between this and Tony/Unan for the best title match.
Actually, this one probably wins because both battlers brought bars.
Soul is a fucking beast. I don't see anyone taking the title off of him except from a seasoned Gemini, maybe. That being said I thought Cee took this. He's the only battler at the moment in Britain that could out bar Soul but unfortunately he was slept on heavily. Still, what a classic battle.
TheCosmicHobo2 Would like to see him battle Rone, Charron or Ogmios even
When Gem has enough battles to step to the title that battle will be insane
Lilgc83 Yeah, just needs a few matches with some top tier battlers
I'm on my Star of David, every angles got a point. Missed that the first time what a bar
"2 Eyes you can't use, and 2 S's you can't say."
Still probably one of the best battles that's ever happened, 2-1 Soul as always but coulda maybe been 3-0 without the choke in round 1
Amazing battle. Agree with the judging decision though, Soul edged it for me. Crazy pen game
I've watched this about 5 times and Cee's bars were still going over my head, he definitely came hard but Soul just went in on Cee
Legendary battle. It sucks that a winner had to be chosen, but I understand them giving it to Soul, but Cee Major also demolished.
I come back to this after soul vs raptor I still think Cee won but soul is not a push over
Soul is killer, no doubt. Bar heavy machine. BUT. C got sleeped on hard! CM took that. Unparrelled bars.
FIRST ROUND - CEE
SECOND ROUND - SOUL
THIRD ROUND - SOUL
classic battle
3rd was cees I think
I think Soul is probably the best writer in the world right now. Obviously the next test for him would be match where performance and stage presence came into play, I.e Shotty, Pat Stay, Rone.
Robin Cook idiot
This was a formality, a forgone conclusion. Of course Soul is DF's poster boy and that's why he got the decision. Judging is corrupt/biased at any level of any sport, even battle rap. People saying how Cee hasn't won a battle in ages went against him, then why the fuck give him a shot? I love watching both these guys battle and I'm Scottish to boot. But choking in your first at a title match should go against you for that round, regardless of how you claw the round back. And it took Soul a while to come back from that, it wasn't some minor slip up. On the day, you should bring your A game. I've seen clashes where dudes lose the whole battle for less than this. No way was this a 4-1. All those judges, Dash, Tony D, Villun...all in Eurgh's pocket......and fuckin' Agent, what the fuck does that scrub know? Couldn't rap his way out of a wet paper bag. If you are going to be biased, at least make it look convincing. Fuck sake.
Agreed i feel Soul is usually better but over hyped in this one, aside from the choke he has alot of filler and also forces his delivery, personally i had cee major 3-0 or i guess 2-1 could be argued but his material was better than souls in my view.
Jmaccxx It was a foregone conclusion because Soul has been running through battlers from here to the States for the past two or three years. Not because of some bullshit conspiracy you've invented.
cfcdougiecfc1 Oh sorry, must have missed all that, because I never seen Soul battle before today. Untwist your knickers mate, just my opinion.
LSFTD Of course they do, but that doesn't mean I'm not entitled to mine.
LSFTD While I can't substantiate any of it of course, it's purely conjecture on my part. Although I would dare say I'm not alone in my thinking as a lot of opinions are that Cee was robbed. While I'm not saying that exactly. I happen to think it was closer than most battles tend to be. But the judging did nothing to reflect this. But I wasn't being contentious about Agent, oh no!
Soul's non quotables from this battle:
"Yo"
"Come here, I ain't rapping to no-one"
"Awww fuck!"
Everything else is quotable.
my 6th time watching this battle in two days, its fucking insane, i reckon cee was slept on a few times tbh but soul's pengame is just fucking madness... i dont see anyone in the uk beating soul, not even lunar, shotty, dialect or tony, the way he out smarts guys is fucking incredible, what a beast.. this battle deserves 100000000000 views imo.
what a battle man, ive watched this 3 times already, first watch i had soul 2-1, second watch i started to understand why people were saying cee won, third watch i gotta give it soul man crazy content, best writer in battle rap right now
I would love to see Charron vs Soul, Ogmios (I'd love to hear what he could bring to a title match) vs Soul, or Rone vs Soul. I know in terms of holding a title, Eurgh might not want to see Charron or Rone win it (though I know Soul is Scottish but he still reps the league). Even if Soul battled either of them on KOTD it would be dope. Charron and Soul would be a really interesting match-up.
one of the best battles ever
HOLY FUCK I'VE JUST CAUGHT SOUL'S MILLIONAIRE & COFFIN/COUGHING BAR JESUS THATS MAD
The system has failed the youth miserably and, thats all I have to say about Cee Major. Soul fucking destroyed it. He's beyond these wannabes. Soul is top 3 in battle rap to me. Soul Hollow & Bigg K.
